Our eco flagship store is located in New Malden and boasts innovative developments such as 108 underground bore holes, 100 metres deep which heat and cool the store with energy from the earth, rainwater harvesting, solar thermal water heating panels and a green roof planted with sedum.
B&Q Values, or 'how we do things' are five statements that sum up the personality of B&Q and its employees:
- Customer first
- Down to earth
- Respect for people
- We can do it
- Nobody does it better
These values illustrate what we stand for - both for each other and for customers - and we surveyed as many people as possible in the business to define them, so that they can be owned by us all.
